Punishing Myself Before God Does

Redemption is not just about survival
 It is one lost soul's revival
 Would you call my name
 Or cast me to the flame?

 It's like a story that plays in the back of my head
 Nowhere to hide, so face it instead
 A voice screaming louder when you push it aside
 Nowhere to run so look inside
 God may forgive me, but I won't
 Forced to face my fears again
 God may forgive me, but I won't
 I refuse to play pretend
 It's white noise in a dark room
 Clawing out from your skin
 Echoes tower over me
 Echoes tower over me
 God may forgive me, but I won't
 Forced to face my fears again
 God may forgive me, but I won't
 This suffering will end
 Now I can't see my own face
 It's blinded by the shame
 Would you call my name?
 Now you tell me everything is going to be okay
 Would you call my name?
 
 Would you call my name
 Or cast me to the flame?
 Fear is the tax that conscience pays to guilt
 Please, have mercy on my soul
 Is the guilt that I've got, the good I didn't do?
 I'll punish myself before God does
 I'll punish myself before God does

 Turn to face my fears this time
